Different methods and costs of making 3D crystal inner carving crafts
3D crystal crafts are loved by many consumers as a light luxury gift and decoration.
However, how to make 3D crystal inner carving crafts?
There are currently three known ways, corresponding to different investment costs and production results.
l The first is to use a 3D model made by yourself
Some people have their own 3D drawing software and can make 3D models by themselves. When he gets 2D images from his customers, they can use their own technical capabilities and experience to build the 3D models. All he needs to pay is his own time cost and the cost of purchasing drawing software. This is currently the least costly solution.
When he has a 3D model, he can use the software provided by the machine supplier to convert the picture into a special file suitable for machine recognition and engraving, and finally adjust the energy parameters of the machine for engraving to get a beautiful 3D craft.

l The second is to use a third-party 3D model construction service
Some merchants may not be able to make 3D models themselves, so they need the services of a third party. Ask a third party to make a 3D model based on the 2D image he provides. This is generally charged according to the complexity of the image provided and the time spent on making the 3D model. This expense is related to his sales. He will only spend the cost if his customers pay him. This expense is long-term and continuous.

l The third way is to use 3D scanning equipment
To build a 3D model, in addition to making it yourself or asking others to make it for you, you can also use 3D scanning equipment to scan the actual person to generate a 3D model. The model produced in this way is the closest to the real situation of the person. This solution requires some investment in the early stage, but in the later stage, there is almost no need to pay for the 3D models.

In summary, each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. You need to follow up on your own capabilities and your business costs to choose the right method for yourself. Usually, people will choose to have both the second and third methods at the same time after earning a certain amount of income in the middle term of their business. Choose according to your needs, because sometimes there is not always a chance to scan the actual person.
